Niles had worked hard to acquire it and it was a reward for the hell he'd been through; His divorce from Maris, and the agony of living at the dreadful Shangri-La.

He knew that his new kitchen would provide him a lifetime of elaborate gourmet meals that were sure to rival even the finest Seattle restaurants.
If only he had someone to share it with.
